Re: FAU makes list of best business schools

I printed it out by chance someone couldn't open it. I thought that newspaper required name and passwords.

With the $16Mil from Kaye plus state matching, things should even get better. The accounting program has been ranked high for many years. Even way back when I was there when we had to chisel the numbers on to clay tablets and add them with our abacus.

BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic University has been named to The Princeton Review’s list of "Best 290 Business Schools" for 2008, FAU officials announced Friday.

Based on a survey of 19,000 students attending 290 business schools, The Princeton Review compiled the data.

A 816-page printed edition, published by Random House, is available for $22.95 at bookstores.

"The inclusion in this ranking demonstrates that FAU’s Barry Kaye College of Business is successful in bridging the gap between theory and practice," said Dennis Coates, the college’s dean, in the news release. "Our faculty relates to the world of business, and our graduates owe much of their success in business to this exposure as students."

Isn't FIU's business school the best in the universe :-\

??? Huh?….. ;D Let me bring some other factual rankings here, with all respect, which I hope helps you all in your questions about FIU World Recognized College of Business. But first, understand that achievements by one school doesn't take away the achievements of the other. FIU College of Business was also included in those rankings of Princeton….not only in Business, but our fledging College of Law as well as one of the top 170 Law Schools in the nation Look it up….. FIU was actually ranked in the top 10 in one category, while the College of Law was ranked in the top 10 in two categories.

ERROR: A link was posted here (url) but it appears to be a broken link.

Another ranking type news that just came out by the Financial Times Magazine, ranks FIU as one of the best Executive MBA's programs of the World (Sorry, not the Universe :D). It was ranked #81 in the world…and 37th in the nation. See Link and story below. I wonder which school is missing?…

FIU’s Executive MBA ranked among the best programs in the world

MIAMI, FL (Oct. 24, 2007) – The Financial Times has released this year’s global ranking of Executive Masters of Business Administration programs and Florida International University Chapman Graduate School of Business’ ranked 81st in the world, and 37th among U.S. graduate schools of business.

University of Miami and University of Florida’s programs were the only other Florida EMBAs ranked, at number 83 and 84 respectively. The ranking includes some of the best-known business schools in the United States, as well as throughout Europe, China, Canada and Brazil.

The Financial Times conducts two sets of surveys to compile its lists; one is completed by alumni, the other by business school officials.

More than 8,000 alumni from 107 programs were contacted for this year’s ranking and more than half completed the online questionnaires. Officials from 107 business schools around the world responded to the survey. The Financial Times collected data related to alumni salary and career progression since earning the EMBA, work experience and position within the company.

Other criteria include the quality of the faculty, diversity within each school, the number of articles published by the faculty and the selectivity of each program.

“We continue to get excellent feedback from our alumni as well as from the business community,” said Executive Dean of the FIU College of Business Administration (CBA) Joyce J. Elam. “We are pleased to be ranked by The Financial Times for the second consecutive year.”

FIU’s CBA enjoys a national and global reputation in international business education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. For the past four years, U.S. News & World Report has included the college in the top fifteen in its rankings of the nation’s best undergraduate international business programs, listing, it in the top 10 three times. The same magazine ranked the college’s graduate international business programs among the nation’s top 25. FIU’s business programs also have been ranked in Business Week, América Economía, Latin Trade, Fortune Small Business, Hispanic Business and Hispanic Trends, among others.

Okay but if a school calls itself "Florida International" it SHOULD have some programs that are "world-recognized." World-recognized… what does that really even mean, anyway? Businessmen in Egypt applaud the accomplishments of the FIU College of Business? In Zimbabwe, they'll be impressed that you went to FIU?

Something that bothers me about both schools is the overuse of the words "world-class" in everything. These are fourth-tier schools. If this is a "world-class education" then what does a first-tier school offer?
